Rough translation:

What is the common point between LA Confidential , Ride with the Devil and The Devil Wears Prada ?Well in these three films, we find Simon Baker cast. But all this was before he became Patrick Jane, the star of The Mentalist . Because since 2008 and the beginning of this successful series, the Australian actor does not pass unnoticed and so that's good. The good news for fans is that it always takes as much pleasure to play this fine psychologist: "This series makes me happy and gives me the impression of being useful" , he admits to TV Star . Without the help but question: "I always try to improve myself. I do not think this series is perfect. There are some mediocre episodes, but the public forgive us because others are made ​​with great demand. [...] As executive producer, I urged writers and directors to push Patrick Jane into a corner. Even if it becomes very dark, it remains vulnerable, so endearing. 

 

"The first fan of Patrick Jane is Simon Baker himself. Simply because it helped immeasurably in his career. "I had to seventeen films, but Mentalist who sat my popularity. For now, I take my two and a half months of annual leave me break Mentalist to make a movie. I shoot a romantic comedy starring Rose Byrne ( Damages ) [and it is showing in Margin Call , starring Demi Moore, ed]. But to be honest, when Mentalist stop, I stop television. 

 

"Do not worry, it's not for now. First, because it is bound by a contract that the "preventing them from leaving for a while" , but mostly because viewers are always faithful. "The public decides what he wants and he has more and more choices. As it finds Mentalist interesting, I'll keep my job. Here! " A true open-ended contract.
